Delta Sleep
Blue Garden
(Sofa Boy Records/Wax Bodega)
3.5/5
Delta Sleep is a British band known for its unique blend of math rock and indie pop. They have been active since 2010 and have released four EPs and just released their fourth LP, Blue Garden.
This new LP offers a great mixture of sounds, highlighted by the phenomenal guitar work that elevates most of the tracks. This project creates a trippy atmosphere, which makes it perfect for late-night drives and reflective moments.
However, while the instrumental part of the album is amazing, the lyrics feel flat and without a deep meaning in most of the songs. Moreover, a couple of songs—“The Distance” and “Illuminator”—feel like they should not be part of the record as they have a very different vibe.
Despite these issues, the record is still an enjoyable listen and showcases the band’s talent for creating amazing sounds. So, despite the lack of meaning, listening to the LP is a good time.
